Setup of Development environment

Setup by Operating System

Please add your own instructions here!

There is a central NAnt script that is able to generate a lot of code and is able to do all automated tasks in the OpenPetra project.

To see the available commands, just run on the command line:

cd openpetraorg
nant help

First you need to compile the PetraTools which is a set of programs for creating databases and more:

nant compileCommon
nant compilePetraTools

Now you need to create a database. If you don't change the config file, the SQLite database system will be used.

nant recreateDatabase

Then you want to load the database with base data:

nant resetDatabase

You should compile OpenPetra.org this way:

nant compilePetra

Start the OpenPetra.org Server:

nant startPetraServer

Start the OpenPetra.org client:

nant startPetraClient

With the base database, there is the user demo with password demo that you can use to login to your installation of OpenPetra.org.

See Basic Tutorial for information what is actually working already.

Stop the OpenPetra.org Server:

nant stopPetraServer

Generate the translation files:

nant translation
